Jimmie Woodward

Hi there, I'm Jimmie!

I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their lives and overcome their challenges. My focus is helping you identify your strengths and build the tools you need to move forward.

My focus

I work with individuals struggling with chemical dependency, other addictive behaviors, and persistent and serious mental health issues. My clients are ready to take an active role in their healing and growth.

My approach

My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and evidence-based. I help you identify your strengths and develop coping mechanisms to manage your symptoms. Together, we'll work at your pace to create meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style prioritizes clarity and directness. Through our discussions, I gain insights into your experiences and the obstacles impacting your life. You can expect honest, straightforward conversations.

My journey to mental healthcare

What inspired me to become a therapist was a strong desire to help others. I find meaning in supporting people through challenging times. Therapy positively impacted my own life, and I wanted to provide that same support to others.

My goals for you

We will collaborate to identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that address your presenting issues. We'll break down large goals into smaller, manageable steps and regularly review progress to make adjustments as needed.

Our first session

Our initial session involves exploring your current life circumstances and recent experiences. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and the factors that led you to seek support. Together, we'll identify your desired outcomes for our work.
